Hi guys, A port I am maintaining uses our file(1) implementation. A debian dev who was packaging this thinks he has spotted a license bug.
Said I would forward his mail onto OpenBSD, so here it is. Discuss. ----- Forwarded message from pancake <[email protected]> ----- Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2011 01:19:26 +0200 From: pancake <[email protected]> To: Edd Barrett <[email protected]> Subject: License X-Mailer: iPhone Mail (8C148) Debian packager has reported a bug in magic license. COPYRIGHT file contains the 4th clause bsd which is gpl incompatible. The thing is that *.c files include the 3clause bsd license which is ok. Can i remove the 4th clause from the copyright file? This should be reported to openbsd too as long as its inconsistent and can be problematic. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
